ABRAHAM COLUMBUS GANDEE, OF SYRACUSE, OHIO.

CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 327,938, dated October 6, 1885.

Application filed April 29, 1885. Serial No. 163,867. (No modeL) To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM O. GANDEE, of Syracuse, in the county of Meigs and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ghurns, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention consists in the construction and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved churn, parts being broken out. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional elevation of the same on the line a; 00, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the same on the line 3 y, Fig. 2. Fig.

4 is a cross section of the shaft. Fig. 5 is a face view of a blade or wing.

The cream receptacle or box A and its cover B form a cylindrical vessel, placed upright on a base, 0. The interior or hollow of the box A is widened toward the bottom,as shown, to form a larger space for the cream.

In the top of the cover B a recess, D, having an ap:rture, D, closed by a plug, D", is formed.

The shaft E has one end journaled in one' side of the box, and the other end is held in a sleeve, F, in a neck, G, projecting from the outer side of the other side of the box. The sleeve F is squared to fit a correspondinglyshaped aperture in the neck G, and is provided with a flange, F, between which and the end of the neck the packing H is interposed. Two diametrically-opposite hook-lugs project from the flange F.

An elastic band, K. is provided with a handie-loop, K, and extends from the notch G, on the under side of the neck G, over the lugs J, to the front side of the flange, and into a rccess, F. This band presses the flange F inward, to form a close joint with the neck and packing.

A drip-pan, L, having bails L, is suspended by means of the same from the lugs J, and the said pan has a spout or nozzle, M.

A crank-handle, N, is provided for turning the shaft E.

The middle part of the shaft is squared, and on the said squared part the wings, blades, or paddles O are held, each having an aperture, P, a tongue, Q, on the inner end, and a tenon, R, on the inner end of the tongue. An aperture or mortise, S, is formed in the tongue Q. The tongues Q are placed against the sides of the squared middle parts of the shaft, and are locked in place by inserting the tenon R of one wing into the mortise or aperture S of another, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.

The drip-pan L serves to catch the cream or buttermilk that works through the sleeve F.

The plug or stopper D can be raised to permit water placed in the recess D to flow onto the milk, to temper the same, and also to admit air while churning.

The box A andits neck G are to be made of earthenware. I

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination, with the box A, having the neck G, of the sleeve F, having the flange F, provided with the lugs J, the pack ing H, and the elastic band K, substantially as herein shown and described.

2. The combination, with the box A, having the neck G, of the sleeve F, provided with the flange F, having lugs J, and of the drippan L, having bails L, substantially as herein shown and described.

3. The combination, with the box A, and the shaft E, having a squared end, of the wings, blades, or paddles 0, having tongues Q, tenons R, and mortises or apertures S, the tenon R of one blade or wing being passed into the aperture or mortise S of another wing,

substantially as herein shown and described.

' 4:. The combination, with the cream-box having a neck, G, notched on its under side, of the sleeve F, within said neck and provided with a notched flange, F, and an elastic band engaging said notches to hold the sleeve in place,'substantially as set forth.
